• Is Kenya’s Property Market Becoming a Buyer’s Market?

  Are Kenyan buyers gaining more negotiating power? When buyers have more options to choose from, sellers may have to compete harder for their attention. As of July 2026, the average commercial bank lending rate stood at 14.39%, down from 17.2% in November 2024. For anyone looking to buy or sell property in 2026, understanding that shift may be just as important as understanding the property itself. I came across a story recently about how the US property market is slowly shifting in favour of buyers.

• Small Space, Big Style: Interior Design Ideas for Apartments

  Before buying furniture or decorating, look at how you actually use each room. Furniture with built-in storage can also help reduce clutter, particularly in bedrooms and living areas. A neutral base can make a room feel bright and provide flexibility, but you can introduce colour through cushions, artwork, curtains, rugs or even an accent wall. Living in an apartment often means making the most of the space you have. You may have a beautiful living room, but it also needs to accommodate your sofa, dining area, television, storage and perhaps even a small workspace. Your bedroom has to fit your bed, clothes and everything else you need without feeling crowded. The good news is that a smaller space does not mean you have to compromise on
